Answer:
Option B) y = 50
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following information:
Two parallel lines are crossed by a transversal.
The attached image shows the intersection of transversal and the angles.
As clear from the image, the given pair of angles form alternate interior angles.
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate interior angles are congruent or equal
Thus, y = 50 degree
X = adult tickets and x+58 = student tickets
Create the equation from the problem.
x + x + 58 = 708
Combine like terms.
2x +58 = 708
Subtract 58.
2x = 650
Divide by 2.
x = 325
Therefore, your answer is:
there were 325 adult tickets sold.
(Adding 58 to that number will get you the student tickets sold which is 383 if they ask.)
